you bring up a good point and i agree with you. but i think milwaukee made this tool not to give to a bricklayer or a demo crew who are chipping all damn day long but to someone who maybe just needs it for a little bit of time. for myself it would be great, last week i had to drill 4 holes in brick up a 15 ft ladder, i had to go grab my corded hammer drill get a cord and find a plug but with this it would be so much easier. but shit man maybe i'm wrong and its intended for a guy who is gunna use it all day long.
